Derbyshire Dales Trail Run
The Derbyshire Dales Trail Run is a chip‑timed trail running event based at Bakewell Showground in the Peak District National Park. The course uses sections of the Monsal Trail and follows the River Derwent, with open views towards the Chatsworth House estate and passages through the village of Edensor and Manners Wood. The route includes varied terrain and recorded elevation gains for each distance.
Participants may choose from these distances:
- 21.5k Half Marathon route, +400m elevation
- 15k Medium route, +306m elevation
- 9.1k Short route, +166m elevation
Event services include chip timing, on-course refreshments, fully signed routes with pink arrows and tape, course marshals, first aid cover, an event photographer, and a finisher metal plus a goodie and drink at the finish. The event operates a plastic‑free policy at water stations and asks runners to bring a reusable cup or bottle. Local car parks beside the venue provide event parking; attendees should check for any charges. Dogs are not permitted at the event. Spectators are welcome and the organisers mark hazards and road junctions with caution signs for safety. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
